A few years back there was a couple in Southern Oregon that used Google maps to make it from the valley over to the coast in the middle of winter. The map gave them two options as far as routes go and they chose the shorter of the two. As they turned onto one of the routes they saw a sign that said the road might be closed due to excessive snow and to enter at your own risk. They didn't turn back when the snow got to 10 inches and ended up getting stuck in the snow. The entire family died. They found the wife and kids in the car and they found the guy about a mile or two from it trying to walk back and get help.
Had they turned around and taken the other route the roads were 100% plowed and it would have been an easy drive.
